What do you do when things are so bad that you can't go on? Who do you turn to for help?
Veronica Callows is not happy. She and her husband Greg have been married for 13 years now, and in that time they've been through a lot. But that happy, romantic guy she fell in love with isn't the guy she's married to now. And what's worse, she has no one in her life to help her through this. She has nowhere else to turn.
Enter Jason. He shows up, having joined Veronica's walking group one day and, at first, she doesn't know what to make of him. He's quiet, mysterious, and she can't keep her eyes off of him. She chalks it up to a school-girl crush, but just when she thinks that nothing will come of it, he invites her out to visit the water tower. At night. Alone.
She decides to go with best intentions, but sometimes your inner animal can only be held back for so long. Now she's discovered that this hard-as-nails bad boy has a more sensitive side -- and a dark past. Will Veronica be able to keep everything under control, or will what happens between them destroy her marriage, and threaten the very life that she's worked so hard to create?
